The Madawaska Highlands Observatory will be located in the picturesque
Madawaska Highlands of Ontario, one hour west of Ottawa, Canadas
Capital. This unique facility will be located far away from light
pollution, and showcases an extremely spectacular horizon to horizon
Milky Way. The Visitors Centre will host a state-of-the-art 3D
digital planetarium with the highest resolution in the world.
Visitors will have the opportunity to view with the worlds
largest and most powerful public telescopes.

The Visitors Centre is the worlds most energy efficient
building, being self-powered and off the grid using a combination
of solar electric power, solar thermal energy, ground sourced
heat pumps and a very innovative building design. It even uses
rain water and recycles all of its water.

The facility will have many amenities including a fine restaurant,
a boutique, a fully equipped lecture theatre, several board rooms,
a multi-use Zen room, a large lobby equipped with one hundred
million pixel video walls, a display and exhibit hall, an atrium
and a special exhibits area. The unique building, located on top
of a high hill with spectacular panoramic views, will have a south
facing covered terrace, a courtyard with themed architectural
elements and parking space for coaches and vehicles.

The Madawaska Highlands Observatory will host the Wide-Field-Telescope,
